Joel has agreed to join me in presenting the readers of this blog with not only the latest gadget news, but also providing industry-based analysis on the mobile gadgets of today and the future. Joel brings more than a decade of mobile and wireless expertise, through his work on Geek.com and also consulting practice which has included advising clients like GTECH, Microsoft and others in what the future will bring and how to plan for and leverage it.
Look for Joel to focus more on why the technology matters to you and less on just what's new and exciting. Joel's specialty is evaluating the latest technology and trends and helping people understand why they are transformational.
Please welcome Joel to ZDNet and stay tuned for his first post.
